Not at the rate of 1 GB a day though ;) ----------------------------------- Carino Sat Apr 02, 2005 6:40 pm ----------------------------------- They just increased it a gig for their 1 year anniversary, which is what i read on the site. -But it looks as if its not gonna stop :) ----------------------------------- md Sat Apr 02, 2005 6:46 pm ----------------------------------- lets see hotmail and yahoo keep up with that :P ----------------------------------- mike200015 Sat Apr 02, 2005 6:56 pm ----------------------------------- yahoo's increasin to 1GB by the start of May, but its still no match for Gmail! ----------------------------------- Martin Sat Apr 02, 2005 8:53 pm ----------------------------------- 2052 mb now. Looks like this'll keep going. Score. ----------------------------------- wtd Sat Apr 02, 2005 8:59 pm ----------------------------------- It's easy enough for Google. Just because it says you have that much space, doesn't mean there's 2GB+ worth of space reserved for you. There're playing with the bell curve. Most people won't use nearly that much, so it's safe to promise it to them. ----------------------------------- rizzix Sat Apr 02, 2005 10:15 pm ----------------------------------- i think it's increasing aprox. at the rate of 2 mb per day. so by the end of the year we should have another gb or two added ----------------------------------- Amailer Sat Apr 02, 2005 11:14 pm ----------------------------------- Its going to stop at 2075 ----------------------------------- Martin Sun Apr 03, 2005 12:29 am ----------------------------------- God damn it. I'm losing everything lately...my Terri Schiavo pool, my Pope pool...and now this. Screw you guys, I'm going home. ----------------------------------- Drakain Zeil Sun Apr 03, 2005 8:20 am ----------------------------------- They should give more to people who use it more... ----------------------------------- the_short1 Mon Apr 04, 2005 1:04 pm ----------------------------------- yea.. definately the html formating rocks. .and the more space is awsom3!! i will be using it :D.. i have 7GBs of music.. so im thinkin on uploadin to 4 gmail accounts :D. . and have a mssive DB of songs for friends to download :D.. . heh.. ilove that peer 2 mail program :D.. ----------------------------------- TheZsterBunny Mon Apr 04, 2005 4:39 pm ----------------------------------- I know this has been beaten to death but, I have 50 invites. who wants? -Z ----------------------------------- Cervantes Mon Apr 04, 2005 5:11 pm ----------------------------------- Since compsci.ca, as a whole, has so many invites, I wonder if we should/could make a section on the mx page for donating / getting invites. That is, provided there are still people out there who haven't got GMail yet. Mind you, v3 is much more important. Silly idea... main goals first! :) ----------------------------------- jamonathin Mon Apr 04, 2005 5:28 pm ----------------------------------- Whats an invite for ? :? I'll take one :) ----------------------------------- Amailer Mon Apr 04, 2005 5:55 pm ----------------------------------- You do know that google will someday go fully public- so its no use :P And if you need an invite, uh post your current email here. ----------------------------------- Martin Mon Apr 04, 2005 6:16 pm ----------------------------------- Yeah, we've probably got enough invites between everyone to invite everyone on this website. ----------------------------------- Drakain Zeil Mon Apr 04, 2005 8:57 pm ----------------------------------- Invite everone over 10 times. ----------------------------------- Bobrobyn Wed Apr 06, 2005 8:02 am ----------------------------------- lmao, more then that. The gmail thing is awsome, I bet anyone with gmail never (or rarely) uses anything else anymore. *huggles gmail* ~Bob ----------------------------------- jamonathin Wed Apr 06, 2005 10:32 am ----------------------------------- da_man_25@hotmail.com ----------------------------------- Martin Wed Apr 06, 2005 12:16 pm ----------------------------------- Done. ----------------------------------- jamonathin Wed Apr 06, 2005 12:42 pm ----------------------------------- thanx Martin :) ----------------------------------- Artimes Wed Apr 06, 2005 7:38 pm ----------------------------------- I have 50 invites, any takers? ----------------------------------- the_short1 Thu Apr 07, 2005 11:30 am ----------------------------------- http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=7687&highlight=gmail+invite silly ppl!!! .. .and i posted over 50 of them there (links) .. but now they are all dead. . .if anyone wants more.. just post there. .and if i see enuf ppl start posting. . i will post another 100 there!.... as well as that .. is anyone here getting more invites every 4 days ? ? ? every 4 days my invites go back up to 50 invites.. is this standarD? ----------------------------------- StarGateSG-1 Fri Apr 08, 2005 1:46 pm ----------------------------------- 2071.936 and counting It isn't going to stop. ----------------------------------- Amailer Fri Apr 08, 2005 3:16 pm ----------------------------------- 2071.936 and counting It isn't going to stop. it will around 75 or so ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Fri Apr 08, 2005 3:42 pm ----------------------------------- I dont know...

You are currently using 10 MB (0%) of your 2072 MB. ----------------------------------- the_short1 Fri Apr 08, 2005 4:56 pm ----------------------------------- ..nah.. it will keep growing .. they said it was infinity +1 or something in their news release.. they want to be able to garruntee taht no one will fill theirs.. because it will never be 'full' for more then a second :P ahaha.. . smart.. and also they said that only 2% of accounts are acually using more then 10% of their space :P. . haha.. its smart of gmail really. . . but all the high techies like .. us haha.,. . will be filling it up fast .. :P.. i have 550MB stashed on there. . lots of stuff i dont like loosing :P.. anyways.. !! LONG LIVE GMAIL!! ----------------------------------- Bacchus Fri Apr 08, 2005 11:49 pm ----------------------------------- hm.. i like the idea of keeping things stored on gmail, but wat happoens if anything screws up and all is lost? there go all ur files... that is if it happand ----------------------------------- wtd Sat Apr 09, 2005 1:06 am ----------------------------------- Yeah. I mean it's not like Google knows anything about safely storing massive amounts of data. ;) ----------------------------------- Amailer Sat Apr 09, 2005 11:20 am ----------------------------------- So it didn't stop at 75........what... ----------------------------------- Bacchus Sat Apr 09, 2005 10:43 pm ----------------------------------- Yeah. I mean it's not like Google knows anything about safely storing massive amounts of data. ;) ya i kno, but im saying like worst case scenario, you never kno it could happen ----------------------------------- MyPistolsIn3D Sat Apr 09, 2005 11:52 pm ----------------------------------- Y2K. It could happen at any time. ----------------------------------- TheZsterBunny Sun Apr 10, 2005 7:31 am ----------------------------------- Y2K? I'm more concerned about Y2037. Maybe we'll have compsci.ca v3 out by then, and it won't matter as much. -Z :lol: ----------------------------------- the_short1 Mon Apr 11, 2005 12:41 pm ----------------------------------- hahaha!! .. . well google is probally more safe then CDS and DVDS. .. i know i had a cd i made.. i managed to get a gauge in it that made it FUBAR (first time i went to get it off the shelf).. (i dont use slim cases no more cuz they SUCK!) ...slim cases pop open sometimes.. and the disc slide out and fall on floor...and got strachted cuz of the center thingies..!ERR...taht and they can be erases (rws), .. etc.. gmail can also be accessed from anywhere.. and you dont need to lug around a bunch of media.. also atm.. 2GB is a lot of stuff!!! use peer2mail (works AWSOME).. i just zip a 400mb folder of stuff.. peer2mail the zip file.. it beaks it down to 10 mb chunks and sends one at a time to that email address.. .. saves a lot of time.. i just do that while im at school .. ( i have 3 gmail accounts filled with mp3s now :D).. you can also just drag a lot of files into the peer2mail window.. but not folders.. ----------------------------------- Amailer Mon Apr 11, 2005 4:54 pm ----------------------------------- *whoa* gmail storage rocks- saved me my marks :P (forgot to get files- lukly i uploaded them to gmaill woooo) ----------------------------------- Bacchus Mon Apr 11, 2005 6:39 pm ----------------------------------- hm.. ill have to check out that peer2mail thing more, wat about getting the stuff and putting it back together? do you still need the program? ----------------------------------- the_short1 Mon Apr 25, 2005 3:03 pm ----------------------------------- i only tried using the peer2mail program but i think it is just a standard zip file.. let me check ----------------------------------- Amailer Mon Apr 25, 2005 7:24 pm ----------------------------------- Will we be getting 3GB of space in gmail? This isn't ending... ----------------------------------- Andy Mon Apr 25, 2005 7:47 pm ----------------------------------- actually i dont think it'll ever end... i mean come on lets be serious, how many ppl are even gona use up 200 meg? ----------------------------------- brenn Mon Apr 25, 2005 7:54 pm ----------------------------------- I guess it's not so much that subscribers will actually use up all the offered space, but the fact is that gmail *offers* it in the first place xD ----------------------------------- bubbles3 Tue Apr 26, 2005 12:30 pm gmail ----------------------------------- i love using gmail and the more storage they give me the better i have already used 1 gig of space on my account
